Sicko —
This was a very interesting film. Almost makes me want to move to France when you hear about their free daycare, 5 week (minimum!) paid vacation and free college education! This Michael Moore movie is much less in your face as his last film "Fahrenheit 9/11." It points out other countries' such as England, France and Cuba's free Universal Healthcare as a basic universal right. It depicts their doctors as focusing on being preventative rather than waiting until someone has already contributed to making themselves sick or are about to keel over. Doctors get bonuses if they get their patients to quit smoking whereas the US healthcare directors get bonuses for rejecting sometimes lifesaving surgeries and "experimental" procedures. The high cost of US medicine is also pointed out when a September 11th worker's enhalers are over $100 in the US yet only a few cents in Cuba.
